I'm surprised Rodgers decided to go now rather than the end of the season, but it's been **** easy for him up there, and he's looked to be on the way out for a while now.

That being said, Celtic have probably gone with the cheap option until the end of the season. They have a much better squad than any of the other teams, so should win the league. Question will be if they can follow it up with the cup. Rodgers success will become a stick with which to beat any future manager.

We came very close to signing him in the Mowbray era, if my memory serves me correctly.

We were in for him and a team mate, whose name escapes me, from Hibs, where Mowbray had managed before joining us. I think the combined fee was in the region of £5m, but it didn't materialise unfortunately.
